About the webinar<\/strong><\/h2>\nIn order to finance climate change mitigation and green growth, both developed and developing countries will be required to seek out a combination of financial sources, including but not limited to carbon pricing. The financial risks and rewards connected to renewable energy projects in developing countries need to be shared across a larger number of financial institutions, individual investors, and public entities both in developing and developed countries to respond to a reality where a wealth of projects in developing countries contributing to mitigation and green and sustainable growth fails to attract the investments they need. Crowd-funding can be part of a new and emerging set of solution, but they need to get to scale.<\/p>\n
The webinar aims at raising awareness among project developers and the private sector on how crowd-investing and crowd-funding platforms can represent a source of finance that catalyzes the implementation climate change mitigation projects, including the CDM, in the Latin American and Caribbean regions. The webinar will be held in English.<\/strong> If you have any questions about this event, please contact the Secretariat of the LEDS LAC Platform: info@ledslac.org.<\/p>\nAbout the panelists<\/strong><\/h2>\n[\/fusion_text][\/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=\u00bb1_1″ background_position=\u00bbleft top\u00bb background_color=\u00bb\u00bb border_size=\u00bb\u00bb border_color=\u00bb\u00bb border_style=\u00bbsolid\u00bb spacing=\u00bbyes\u00bb background_image=\u00bb\u00bb background_repeat=\u00bbno-repeat\u00bb padding=\u00bb\u00bb margin_top=\u00bb0px\u00bb margin_bottom=\u00bb0px\u00bb class=\u00bb\u00bb id=\u00bb\u00bb animation_type=\u00bb\u00bb animation_speed=\u00bb0.3″ animation_direction=\u00bbleft\u00bb hide_on_mobile=\u00bbno\u00bb center_content=\u00bbno\u00bb min_height=\u00bbnone\u00bb][fusion_content_boxes settings_lvl=\u00bbparent\u00bb layout=\u00bbicon-on-side\u00bb columns=\u00bb1″ icon_align=\u00bbleft\u00bb title_size=\u00bb\u00bb title_color=\u00bb\u00bb body_color=\u00bb\u00bb backgroundcolor=\u00bb\u00bb icon_circle=\u00bb\u00bb icon_circle_radius=\u00bb\u00bb iconcolor=\u00bb\u00bb circlecolor=\u00bb\u00bb circlebordercolor=\u00bb\u00bb circlebordersize=\u00bb\u00bb outercirclebordercolor=\u00bb\u00bb outercirclebordersize=\u00bb\u00bb icon_size=\u00bb\u00bb icon_hover_type=\u00bb\u00bb hover_accent_color=\u00bb\u00bb link_type=\u00bb\u00bb link_area=\u00bb\u00bb link_target=\u00bb\u00bb animation_delay=\u00bb\u00bb animation_offset=\u00bb\u00bb animation_type=\u00bb0″ animation_direction=\u00bbleft\u00bb animation_speed=\u00bb0.1″ margin_top=\u00bb\u00bb margin_bottom=\u00bb\u00bb class=\u00bb\u00bb id=\u00bb\u00bb][fusion_content_box title=\u00bbMr. Grant Kirkman\u00bb icon=\u00bb\u00bb backgroundcolor=\u00bb\u00bb iconcolor=\u00bb\u00bb circlecolor=\u00bb\u00bb circlebordercolor=\u00bb\u00bb circlebordersize=\u00bb\u00bb outercirclebordercolor=\u00bb\u00bb outercirclebordersize=\u00bb\u00bb iconrotate=\u00bb\u00bb iconspin=\u00bbno\u00bb image=\u00bbhttps:\/\/ledslac.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Grant-Kirkman.jpg\u00bb image_width=\u00bb130″ image_height=\u00bb130″ link=\u00bb\u00bb linktext=\u00bb\u00bb link_target=\u00bb_self\u00bb animation_type=\u00bb\u00bb animation_direction=\u00bb\u00bb animation_speed=\u00bb\u00bb]Grant heads up relations for sustainable development finance at the UNFCCC Secretariat in Bonn, Germany (Sustainable Development Mechanism\u2019s programme).
